Why Do They All Do ItP-What there is
about Guford Station, on the Maryland Central
road, to attract amateur artists from the city, we
fail to see, yet the place must possess some pecu
liar charm for them. Last summer they worked
it for all it worth and they have opened the
campaign early this season, there haying been no
less than dozen there Wednesday afternoon.
Among the surroundings of the place are beer
saloon, very mean shed called station, frame
ice house, an old tumble-down mill and a little
new house painted green. There also some
unsghtly banks of earth, little brook and some
trees, but we have never yet been able to see
where the beauty or picturesqueness comes in.
But the dear things just sit there in the broiling
sun and paint and paint, apparently oblivious of
the fact that there at least an hundred places
on the line of the road that would make better
studies than the surroundings of Guilford. Won't
they kindly give us rest on Guilford and edo"
We havn't a doubt that some of the girls who
were at work there on Wednesday have freckles on
their noses to- day as big as ten-cent pieces. They
must pardon us for saying so, but we hope they
have.
Obituary.-Francis P. Tomay, native of
Maryland, and a brother of Mr.. S. G. Tomay, of
Towsontown, died at Harshaw, Arizona, few
days ago, after brief sickness, aged 80 years.
The deceased was engaged in silver mining, and
had been living in the West for the last years.
Augustus w. Sweeny died at his residence, Mt.
Washington, Baltimore county, on Thursday morn
ing last, aged 81 years. He was the only son of
the late E. N. Sweeny, who owned the fine farm
at the head of Charles street avenue. He leaves
widow and two sons by former marriage, Mr..
Edward D. Sweeny, of San Francisco, CAL, and
DR.. A. w. Sweeny, of Baltimore. For some years
past Mr.. Sweeny had been engaged in the insur-
ance business.
Rev. j. S. M. Haslup, supernumary minister
connected with the Waverly M. e. Church, and a
son-in- law of Edward Rider, Esq, of Sherwood,
N. C. R. r.. died at his residence, in Waverly,
early on Friday morning Mr.. Haslup had been
in failing health for some time, which necessitated
his retiring from the active ministry at the last
session of the Baltimore Conference he was given
supernumary relationship.
It Might Have Been Serious.-On Thurs
day afternoon last Mr.. Lewis II. Urban, of Tow
sontown, was sitting in buggy in front of his
house. his little son, aged about three years being
with him. He was talking to Mr.. II. w. Tote
busch, of Baltimore, who was standing between the
wheels with his foot on the buggy STEP The
child was playing with the reins and die some
thing to mako the horse start. Mr.. Urban grabbed
for the rens and in his haste to get them they be-
came crossed and in pulling on them suddenly the
horse was drawn short around tree box, the bug
gy was turned over and the occupants thrown out.
Mr.. Totebusch, who could not free himself, was
caught and all three were thrown under the buggy
and the horse also fell. Fortunately several men
who were near at hand hurried to the rescue and
when they were taken out from under the buggy,
which was badly wrecked, it was found that they
had gotten off with only slight bruises. 1t was
narrow escape and might have been attended with
serious consequences. The horse and buggy be-
longs to Mr.. Chas. W. Lee, who intended to drive
Mr.. Urban up to the Timonium track.
The Tramp Nuisance.-Tramps seem to be
on the increase in the country and IN some Sec
tions they are growing more troublesome than
ever. The Maryland Line 9th districD CORES
pondent of the Glen Rock Item has the following
to say on this subject "The tramp nuisance is
becoming intolerable and unless some more rigor-
GUS law is enacted and enforced to check it, the
result cannot be foreseen. They go from house to
house and demand what suits them best and If the
women alone, which is often the case, they get
what they want through fear They are often
bold, impudent and insulting. Many of them beg
from habit than from want, and if what they
get does not suit their palates they throw it away
and repeat their demands elsewhere. They are
lazy, idle and worthless refusing to work whon
work is offered them. Vagabondism is their bus.
mess and they seek and desire no other, yet 1t
seems they must be maintained at the expense OF
the public. think the public would prefer hav-
ing them where they would be compelled to pro-
vide something toward their own maintenance"

Richardson, formerly editor of a newspaper called
the PeoDIes Voice, who was convicted in the Bal

| jail and $500 fine for libelng Judge Fowler, was
| pardoned by the Governor and released from jail
| on Thursday last. Richardson served four months
| and fifteen days of his sentence. Mrs. Richard
son, who labored so theoretically and untireingly
| for her husbands pardon, was assisted by State
| Senator Singluff and others, who went to Annap-
oils many times in his behalf 1t is understood that
the Governor granted the pardon principally upon
| certificate of DIR. II. NJ. Ewing of Mt. Washing
tom his family physician, who stated that he had
| heart disease and was in danger of his life, by
| continued confinement in the Jail. DIR. Piper,
physician to the Jail, stated that he was suffering
| from nervous prostration, but was in no danger
| of his life.

rectors of the Blind Asylum have sold to Mr. Levi

paid is said to be at the rate of about Sl0O per
front foot. Mr.. Condor intends erecting hand
some dwellings on his purchase
